The Large Check-in

Still unused...ship and cruise are imminent.

Looks ok and have partially packed in anticipation of upcoming cruise. One oddity could have sworn I ordered 2nd compression cover...looks as though 'computer says no' to add ons.

Well Crafted

This is my first ever hard-shell luggage piece and I am so far, quite impressed. The wheels are perhaps the standout here when it comes to how smoothly they operate. I went for the Hackett collaboration and find the navy and brown to be quietly elegant. How it stands up to the roughhousing of baggage handlers is to be seen, but the guarantee that CF offers gives me comfort.

A genuinely spacious and robust large check in suitcase

I purchased two of the large check in suitcases and they proved perfect for family travel, particularly over Christmas. They are genuinely very large cases and comfortably accommodated a full mix of clothes, shoes and bulky items, as well as gifts. For a family trip they made packing far easier and removed the need to compromise. The size was a pleasant surprise. These suitcases offer significantly more capacity than you might expect, making them ideal for longer trips or situations where you are carrying items for more than one person. The wheels are exceptional and are a real highlight. Despite the size and weight when fully packed, the suitcases move smoothly and effortlessly through airports. Manoeuvring them through terminals and on and off transport is easy and well balanced. Visibility on the baggage carousel is also excellent. The finish makes them easy to spot quickly, which is a practical but often overlooked detail. One point to note is that the suitcase is a little heavier than expected when empty. That said, this clearly reflects the robustness of the build rather than any design flaw. For frequent travellers, business travel, or anyone with a generous weight allowance, this is a sensible trade off for durability and capacity. Overall this is an extremely well built, highly practical large check in suitcase that is particularly well suited to family travel and longer journeys where space and reliability really matter.
